From Acceleration to Systemic Collapse: Critical Perspectives on Techno-Capitalism and Three Societal Bifurcations

#Virilio critiques #speed: technical acceleration leads to #crash, loss of #resonance (Rosa), and systemic collapse. #Mhalla, #Rouvroy, #Berns, #Negri, #Quijano, #Cusicanqui, #Ferdinand analyze #algorithmicGovernance, the #DigitalEmpire, and #coloniality. Three bifurcations: #positiveBarbarism (#Benjamin), #degrowth (#Saito), #DialecticOfReason (#Adorno &…

"The emergence of personal AI agents represents a form of cognitive control that moves beyond blunt instruments of cookie tracking and behavioral advertising toward a more subtle form of power: the manipulation of perspective itself. Power no longer needs to wield its authority with a visible hand that controls information flows; it exerts itself through imperceptible mechanisms of algorithmic assistance, molding reality to fit the desires of each individual. It’s about shaping the contours of the reality we inhabit.

This influence over minds is a psychopolitical regime: It directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates the core of our subjectivity, bending our internal landscape without us realizing it, all while maintaining the illusion of choice and freedom. After all, we are the ones asking AI to summarize that article or produce that image. We may have the power of the prompt, but the real action lies elsewhere: the design of the system itself. And the more personalized the content, the more effectively a system can predetermine the outcomes."

prophetic critique written in 1991:

"In systems such as those described by hypermedia project leaders, 'smart' systems will filter information and structure access. These developments in technology and design of information systems raise genealogical, ethical and aesthetic questions regarding relationship of knowledge, power and value and require a series of studies focusing on borders between apparently opposite or similar knowledge configurations. These studies should deconstruct 'invisible' architectonic structures supporting knowledge construction, illuminating unacknowledged choices embedded within existing and planned information systems".

Beverly J. Jones, Cultural Implications of Integrated Media, in: Leonardo, Vol. 24, No. 2, April 1991, p. 158
